Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WorkJam at 4.7 against OnTheJob App's 3.3. WorkJam also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 161) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). OnTheJob App's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WorkJam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkJam has 24K ratings behind it against 161, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of WorkJam's written reviews are positive against 20% of OnTheJob App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WorkJam ships an update weekly, OnTheJob App fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
